/ Read-Write problems

After a reboot of my linux system, I had an EXT3 filesystem error on my root partition.  So, I ran FSCK to fix the problem, but now my / partition is stuck in Read only mode.  Even if I try to remount "mount: block device /dev/hda2 is write-protected, mounting read-only"....

Anyone have any ideas what's happening?  Is this maybe a udev issue or something? I appreciate any help.  Thanks

Re: / Read-Write problems

Well, I fixed the problem.  Turns out there were some bad blocks on the file system that fsck just didn't want to touch.  So i manually mounted the filesystem and deleted them.  somethings in var/lib/pacman/  were causing problems. That's my linux (cue corny music)

Bad blocks? Your HDD okay?

(Next time, you might want to use JFS... 8) )

Re: / Read-Write problems

HD Seems to be fine......I usually switch filesystems between reiser and ext3.  Never tried jfs though....
